Music Week in Year 5!

4 October 2022 (by btejero)

Year 5 enjoyed learning about The Planets by Gustav Holst.

We had a busy week learning facts about Holst and his orchestral suite, The Planets.  It linked to our previous topic in Science (Earth and Space) so we were able to retrieve lots of new knowledge! Year 5 learnt about Holst's orchestral suite and then created their own class composition inspired by his work! We used relevant musical vocabulary to describe a piece of music, including dynamics, pitch, mood and ensemble.  We then learnt patterns of varying difficulty and incorporated them into our compositions. Finally, we performed  a part in a big ensemble watching the conductor and reading the score to know when and how to play!
